The first units on scene were greeted by about 100 drunken wedding reception attendees, Carroll said, so officers called for backup. The crowd was standing in a parking lot outside a small hall of the pavilion where the celebration took place.

The rest of Newark's officers on shift that evening responded, complete with lights and sirens to assist with crowd control, Carroll said.

Eventually the crowd began to disperse.

One person, Paul Greer Jr., 22, of San Lorenzo, was arrested on suspicion of being drunk in public.

"The original report of a fight could not be established as folks were less than cooperative," Carroll said. "The father of the bride decided to end the reception and officers stood by while the guests left."

There were no reported injuries during the incident and Carroll confirmed that no gang members were identified at the wedding.
